Good Morning all. We are witnessing history in the making. Perhaps a once in a lifetime storm. On the track, overall good consensus on the models but two globals, 00Z CMC and UKMET, take the center slightly eastward than the NHC path somewhere between Mobile and P'Cola. The 06Z GFS and 00Z Nogaps are real close to NHC's projected path (SE LA). The size of KAT is also amazing - tropical storm winds with a diameter of 350 miles and hurricane force winds with a diameter of 140 miles. Predicted storm surge of 15-25 feet in SE LA and coastal Miss, 10-15 feet for coastal AL, and 6-7 feet for western panhandle. A true monster. Our prayers go out to those in her path.
